Zusammenfassung: In zwei Experimenten wurde überprüft, ob eine erhöhte relative Verfügbarkeit des Erfolges von Jan Ullrich bei der Tour de France 1997 bei Deutschen zu einer stärkeren Identifikation mit ihrer Nation führt. In Experiment 1 wurde die relative Verfügbarkeit des Erfolges von Jan Ullrich direkt mit Hilfe eines Fragebogens manipuliert, in Experiment 2 indirekt, und zwar durch die erhöhte Verfügbarkeit des gelben Trikots, dem Symbol seines Erfolgs. In beiden Experimenten zeigte sich, daß Personen, bei denen der Erfolg im Vergleich zu einer Kontrollgruppe verfügbarer gemacht wurde, eine höhere Identifikation mit der Nation berichteten.

In the past of 110 years of its history, people noticed unique stories and duels in particular periods, celebrities that became legends that the world of sports will never forget. Also many places where the races unfolded made history in the Tour de France.

The Introduction briefly displays the attendance of a particular stage based on a regional point of view. The main topic deals with selected historical aspects of difficult ascents which every year decide the winner of Tour de France, and also attract fans from all over the world. In the final stage of the research, the distribution of results on the website available to a wide circle of fans of this sports event played a very significant part (www.tdfrance.eu).

This study uses Google Trends data to analyze the impact of the main events in the Tour de France 2019 on cyclists’ online popularity in 12 countries and at a global scale. A fixed effects panel model revealed a strong own-country preference. While online popularity increased with the duration of the Tour, race incidents strongly influenced online popularity. Besides the yellow jersey, winning a stage was more important than wearing the green, white or polka dot jersey for most regions. Still, on a global scale, young cyclists’ online popularity benefited more from wearing the white jersey than from winning a Tour stage.
